similar to: xguest?

I've installed CentOS 6.6 on a workstation at a local non-profit as a kiosk machine. I used xguest. Works great, except now the customer wants the Firefox homepage to be one pointing to a particular site. Doesn't seem to be much documentation on how to make minor changes to the account. Lots of SELinux guidance, but nothing about default home page, etc. Dave

Somewhat offtopic, watch out for xguest; it can create problems. I.e. if you logout from xguest you can't log back in, you need to reboot.

I just built these servers, and the other admin added some more packages, then we moved them into the datacenter. I see errors from a cron job, Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Unknown error" So I logged on, and ran yum list apcupsd, to see if it was

Hi, folks, Trying to build a package from a gzipped tarball of a python package. I'm trying to build it in /root/rpmbuild. Python has a way to build it, but it creates its own tree, with a clone of the rpmbuild tree under *that*. So, from the specfile, I'm trying to understand, after much googling, what I need to change the Source and BuildRoot to. My latest try for the latter is

I can't seem to find apcupsd for C 6. Just went to epel's website, and not visible. Anyone have a clue? mark

How do you restart Xorg? I can't find a target for it, and restarting graphical.target doesn't seem to do it. mark

*sigh* The answer is that the large exported filesystem is a very large XFS... and at least through CentOS 6, upstream has *never* fixed an NFS bug that I find, googling, being complained about in '09: it gags on inodes > 32bit (not sure if that's signed, or unsigned, but....). The answer was to either create, or find an unneeded directory with a < 32bit inode, rename the

Anyone got a preferred program or package for this? I'd like a *good* one, and Word or OO.o's save as html in no way qualifies as other than amateur crap. So far, with a little googling, I've found the wv package. wvHtml works, but I don't like the output - it insists on <div>, and on &rhquo instead of plain, simple ". mark "what, ask for an opinion in

I see that bareos is, actually, the descendent of bacula. I've been looking at some of the documentation, and searching, but one thing I'd like to find out, before I try to implement it, and that I haven't found yet: am I going to have to play games, to get it to back up to online storage, as opposed to tape? (I suppose I'm thinking tar, here, as "no games".) Is there

We just moved a user, who deals with a *lot* of data, to a new server, since his old NFS home directory was on a disk that had started showing problems. Now, i/o is about six times slower, my manager reports. After a fair bit of googling, I started looking at tc and ip, and found the following: from ip address show, first, on the old home directory server, eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu
